🌍 A Cultural Experience for All
Polish Festival Vancouver is more than a celebration—it’s a cultural bridge between communities. Since September was officially declared Polish Heritage Month in British Columbia in 2022, this annual event plays an even more significant role in showcasing the vibrancy of the local Polish population, especially with more than 10,000 people of Polish descent living on the North Shore.
The festival creates a welcoming space where people of all ages and backgrounds can discover and enjoy the beauty of Polish customs, language, and community spirit.
